Petition from Charles Robinson and Cornelius Robinson concerning their parole
Robinson, Charles; Robinson, Cornelius
1782 
Volume 16, Pages 180-181

TO HIS EXCELLENCY, THOS. BURKE, ESQUIRE, GOVERNOR AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN 
AND OVER THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

[From Executive Letter Book.]

The Petition of Charles Robinson and Cornelius Robinson of the Counties of 
Richmond and Montgomery most humbly shewth:

That they were made Prisoners by General Rutherford on his late march to 
Wilmington and sent in custody to Salisbury without a hearing or examination, 
nor any charge set up against them, but on suspicion as they lived in a part 
of the Country much suspected. It was the good pleasure of the late Governor 
Martin to order and direct your Petitioners on parole to Salisbury town on 
giving sufficient securities for their appearance at the Superior Courts. Your 
humble Petitioners now assure your Excellency that they have given sufficient 
securities for their behavior and appearance as aforesaid, and farther, that 
all cause of suspicion is removed and that they have no intentions but to 
behave well and to the interest of the Country, therefore most humbly pray 
your Excellency to release your petitioners from that parole that they may 
return to their homes to take care of their families and domestic concerns.

And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

Yours, &c.,
CHAS. ROBINSON,
CORNELIUS ROBINSON.

P. S.—If it should be your Excellency’s good pleasure to release your 
Petitioners from their parole, please signify the same to Major Joel Lewis.
